Kelly Zabel

Whether new construction, remodeled, or in its original beauty, I know how difficult it is for potential buyers to imagine a home when viewing a vacant property. I love taking an empty room, filling it with personality and comfort, and showcasing how homeowners could actually live in that space.

In my spare time, my husband Alex and I keep busy with our two kids. We enjoy going on walks, playing at parks, and visiting the MN Zoo. My other hobbies include traveling, reading, and trying new restaurants around the cities.

In addition to being a CSRA Certified Home Stager and a national and regional member of RESA (Real Estate Staging Association), I am honored to have been the recipient of awards, both nationally and locally:

  • RESA (Real Estate Staging Association): 2023 Top 100 Most Influential People in Real Estate Staging, 2021 Best Rising Star Home Stager of the Year, and 2020 Top 10 Rising Star Home Stager of the Year for Vacant Properties

  • Star Tribune’s Readers’ Choice Awards: Gold in Home Staging 2023, 2022 & 2021, and Gold in Interior Design in 2021

Kelly has a great eye, with a good sense of design. She has helped clients both with staging using their own furnishings and with bringing in her furnishings and accessories. An example of each got multiple offers the first weekend on the market and are closing this week… that likely wouldn’t have happened without her expert guidance!
